To prepare sand for hermit crabs in the microwave, heat it for about 1-2 minutes on high. It's important to stir the sand every 30 seconds to ensure even heating and to prevent hotspots. Make sure to let it cool down before adding it to the habitat, as it can retain heat and potentially harm the crabs. Always check the temperature to ensure it is safe for your pets.

Blending craft sand with hermit crab sand is not recommended, as craft sand may contain harmful additives or chemicals that could be detrimental to hermit crabs' health. Hermit crab sand is specifically formulated to provide a safe environment, including the right texture and moisture retention. If you want to create a suitable substrate, it's best to use only products specifically designed for hermit crabs or natural sand that is free of harmful substances. Always prioritize the safety and well-being of your hermit crabs when choosing their habitat materials.
